If you have an extra $2 billion, you can afford not a banal superyacht, but a super submarine. Migaloo M5 is the world's first super submarine which is essentially a superyacht inside a submarine. This giant submarine is 165.5 meters long and can accommodate 20 passengers and 40 crew members.
The $2 billion underwater superyacht, designed by Graz-based design firm Migaloo, will enable its owners to literally escape life on land by staying 188 meters underwater for four weeks.
The world's wealthy will enjoy riding jet skis, kite surfing, paddleboarding, setting off in one of two six-person mini-submarines, or taking a ride in a helicopter. Migaloo M5 also features two swimming pools, a wine cellar, a café, and a cinema. A particularly attractive feature of this giant submarine is the 36-seat glass-walled dining room, which offers panoramic underwater views.
Another staircase leads passengers into the rugged hull where a viewing window offers views of the ocean depths and marine life in all its glory.
This super submarine can reach a maximum speed of 20 knots on the surface and 12 knots while submerged. Its interiors are luxurious, with a touch of gold. The use of balancing black and soothing white makes the atmosphere neutral.
“Our target group is forward-thinking billionaires, with or without superyacht experience, who have exceptional demands for exclusivity, safety, adventure or experience,” CEO Christian Gampold told the Times. “Because this is a completely new development, such a project will require appropriate financial resources, will take a lot of time to design, build and will require many decisions to be made.”
At the moment, the Migaloo M5 superyacht remains a concept, and the date of its debut on the market has not been set.
